Minke Whale Encounters Expedition

29 June – 02 July 2020 | 11 Dives

Tour Leader- Madi

Join us in June 2020 as we depart from Cairns and travel along the rarely visited Ribbon Reefs, finishing 240 km to the north at the world famous Cod Hole!

$1850 (quad share)

Over two and half days you will have the opportunity for up to 11 dives and encounter clouds of colourful tropical fish, an incredible variety of vibrant healthy corals, giant clams, anemones, huge schools of cruising pelagic fish, and a family of giant potato cod.

This time of year is also Minke Whale season and divers have the opportunity to interact with these incredibly inquisitive creatures.

Your last night on ‘Spirit’ is spent in the bay at Lizard Island. Enjoy time ashore at Lizard Island the next morning, before boarding your return flight to Cairns. The one-hour, low-level scenic flight back will arrive in Cairns around 11:30am on Thursday. Spaces are limited – so be quick and reserve your place today!
